The 2022 Marquis d'Angerville Volnay is a highly anticipated release from a vintage that Guillaume d'Angerville describes as an "easy vintage" where the heat is not overtly apparent, resulting in a classic profile. The 2022 Burgundy vintage, while not a "big" vintage, is considered midweight, charming, and alluring, offering a broad drinking window. Domaine Marquis d'Angerville is renowned for producing monumental wines that are a reference for the Volnay appellation. The 2022 Volnay, particularly the 1er Cru Clos des Ducs, opens with an aromatic symphony of red berries—ripe cherry, raspberry, and a hint of strawberry—accompanied by subtle floral notes of violet and rose. As it breathes, earthy elements of leather, forest floor, and a touch of truffle emerge, adding complexity. On the palate, it's silky with finely integrated tannins, vibrant fruit, fresh acidity, and a mineral edge. The finish is long, elegant, and refined. For the Volnay "Champans" 1er Cru, expect a lovely density of plum and blackberry fruit with spice and earth notes, a plump, velvety, and long texture with supple tannins. 【A benchmark Volnay from a charming and balanced vintage, offering excellent aging potential】. This wine is built to age gracefully, with some suggesting a drinking window of 7-10 years from vintage and beyond. 🍴 Food Pairing: This elegant Volnay is a superb match for refined dishes. Consider roasted game birds like pheasant or partridge, duck confit, or a classic beef bourguignon. It also pairs wonderfully with earthy mushroom dishes or a selection of mature, nuanced cheeses. 🥂 Event Suggestions: Ideal for a celebratory dinner, a special gathering with discerning palates, or as a prized addition to a fine wine collection. Its aging potential makes it a thoughtful gift for future enjoyment.
